[edit] "Beyond the Badge"

The reference for this is over a year old. At this point I don't think we should reference the proposed show unless it is picked up for some non-trivial distribution. Mangoe 15:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ICC Verb Tense

Since a present future continuous tense is used (to flow with the tense used previously in the article), I consider "will" to be correct along with inclusion of the "if [the highway] is completed" condition at the end. Since a differing belief remains, I'm applying an alternative condition statement. Adavidb 00:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Starting Gate

Who deleted the reference to The Starting Gate bar and Lounge? Its a staple of laurel and has been around at least 45 years. It must have a place in here. Stefanem20904 02:23, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

As stated in the edit summary, the claims made about the bar/lounge were not sourced and remain unverified. Please see Wikipedia's attribution policy. Starting Gate may be worthy of inclusion here, though proper attribution is required. --Adavidb 02:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taxi Driver

The town in the movie taxi driver is based on Laurel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.4.149.21 (talk) 19:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

One source states only that the movie was inspired by Arthur Bremer's story. Another source mentions that the movie's Travis Bickle character, a New York taxi driver, was based on Bremer. I found nothing about a town in the movie being based on Laurel, however. —Adavidb 11:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
